Artemisia caudata Seeds (Beach Wormwood)

Beach Wormwood (Artemisia caudata), also known as Sand Sagebrush, is a perennial plant species found in sandy coastal habitats. It features gray-green, finely divided leaves with a strong aromatic scent. Growing up to 2 feet tall, it forms a rounded shrub-like shape. This hardy plant is mainly found in USDA hardiness zones 7 to 10, tolerating coastal winds and poor soils. Propagation can be done using Artemisia caudata seeds, which require well-drained soil and full sun exposure. This versatile and resilient species is often used for erosion control in coastal regions.
